COOKERY FOR INVALIDS.
Mias Corson Telia Howto Prepare appe
tising Dianes.
Baltimore Gun.
“Our lessons to-day, ladies, will be
devoted to the preparation of tempting
things for invalids.’’ The crowd of
learners at the cooking school ceased
talking when Miss Corson spoke and
got ready to take notes and ask ques
tions. “Beef tea will bo explained
first. Now, then, are you ready?
Well, chop one pound of lean beef,
from the round, very fine; soak it for
at least an hour in ono pint of cold
water; if there is time, let it soak two
hours; put it over the fire in the same
water, and let it slowly reach the boil
ing point; strain it through a sieve
which will retain only the bits of meat
and allow the coagulated albumen to
pass through; a little seasoning may
ho added if the physician permits. If
the cooking of the beef tea is checked
at 1-19 degrees Fahr. its albumen will
ho perfectly soluble, and therefore
more digestible for very weak inva
lids.
“For beef juice slice juicy lean beef
from the round an inch thick, broil it
quickly over a very hot fire, but with
out burning, until’it is brown on both
sides. Lay it in a hot soup-plate, cut
it through in all parts with a very
sharp knife and set another hot plate
on it, with the bottom against the
meat; then grasp both plates firmly
and press them together, squeezing the
juice from the meat. Let it run into
another dish or upon a slice of delicate
toast, and serve it at once; the physi
cian will indicate the seasoning.
“To prepare toast suitable for inva
lids, cut stale bread in slices half an
inch thick, and trim off the crust; then
hold it far enough away from the fire
to dry ft before browning it; it should
he of a delicate brown color and quite
dry in the middle of the slice;
in this condition it is more
easily digested than when
made so quickly that the moisture of
the bread remains in it.
“I shall show you how to roast
squalls, but you will have to suppose
gifts to the commerce of the South,
and when the river arteries of trade
and the channel of the bay shall liavo
been complete I, the development of
wealth in Alabama must be exception
al if not unexam pled in the history of
our substantial progress. As early as
the administration of the second Ad
ams the importance of these water
ways was appreciated by the govern
ment, but cotton was king; it met
every apparent want of the South, and
as thero was no supremo necessity to
press these improvements, they read

this chicken to be a equab. Carefully
remove the feathers from a pair of
squabs, draw them without breaking
the intestines, cut off the heads and
legs and tie tho wings and thighs close
to the body; put the birds before the
fire or in a very hot oven to brown;
then season them with salt and pepper,
rub a little butter over them and finish
cooking them; about fiiteen minutes
will be long enough, if the fire is very
hot; while the squabs are being cook
ed shell new Southern peas enough to
fill a small cup; boil them in > alted
boiling water for ton minutes, or just
until they are tender, and then drain
them and dress them with plain salad
dressing, or with mayonnaise, for both
of which recipes will be given later in
this series. French canned peas, or
petili-poU, can be used, the fact re
membered that they need only be
drained, as they are already cooked; a
can will serve lor half a dozen squabs;
put the peas on a cold dish, lay the
squabs on them and servo them either
hot or cold. This dish can be prepar
ed and kept for a day or longer before
it is used. In summer, when peas
and pigeons are plentiful, it will be ac
ceptable to any one; if it is to be used
cold tho butter may be omitted in sea
soning the birds. Don’t wash poultry
after it is drawn, as it is not necessary
unless the intestine! break, and you
can easily prevent that by running the
bock of your hand against the inside
and carefully loosening and remov
ing ttie sack which contains the intes
tines.
“For tapioca jelly wash quarter of a
pound of tapioca in cold water, put it
over a gentle fire in sufficient cold
water to reach two Inches above it; use
a thick saucepan or a farina kettle, in
order that it may cook very alowiy
without danger of burning, and stir ft
thoroughly about oace in five minutes
if a saucepan is used; if, whilo the
tapioca is cooking, the water is all ab
sorbed, add half a cupful of cold water
at a time, using only enough to keep
the tapioca moist enough to prevent
burning; when only very small white
>articles are visible in the centre of
he grains of tapioca, add instead of
more water, a pint of any fruit juice,
or tho syrup from canned or preserved
fruit, and let it be slowly absorbed by
the tapioca. Unless the fruit juice is
quite sweet, enough sugar must be
luided to make the tapioca palatable.
When it has absorbed the fruit )uice
turn it out into a plain earthen jelly
monld or bowl, and let it get perfectly
cold before naing it Milk anil pow
dered sugar may be served with it, or it
may be iced and eaten alone.
“For white custards, Chicago style,
heat to the boiling point a pint and a
half of cream; put a dozen custard
cup* into a pan of water: put the
white* of four raw eggs in a large
earthen bowl, and when the cream is
hot stir it with the whites uulii the
two ingredient* »re thoroughly incor
porated ; then sweeten tnd flavor the
custard palatably, pour it into the cups,
cover them with thick brown oap-r,
and bake them in a moderate oven for
about fifteen minutes, or until they are
firm. Serve the cups of custard hot or
cold.”
